>> alisyn: make sure you tune in tomorrow, tucker and i will be on "fox & friends." thank you for joining us. have a great weekend, everybody! thanks for coming out! bill: good morning, everybody. welcome to friday. what you are watching is the beginning of the george zimmerman trial. we'll bring in new witnesses for the prosecution including the former lead homicide detective on that case. welcome to america's newsroom. i'm bill hemmer. have a good trip? martha: it went well. west coast and back. good morning, i'm martha maccallum. you have both sides trying to piece together what happened on that fateful night in florida. taking the stand late yesterday was jennifer lauer.

she called 911 after she heard a scuffle. then screams and a gunshot. >> you said it's difficult to identify the screaming voice as that of george zimmerman. >> i couldn't tell. >> have you ever heard george zimmerman scream like the person was screaming that night? >> never. >> could those screams have come from anybody -- >> speculation. bill: she is the neighbor. she knows zimmerman. the door opened yesterday for prosecutors to zimmerman's past. but will this past be allowed? >> reporter: the judge debra nelson gave both attorneys time overnight to bring their legal argument as to the relevance of zimmerman's criminal history. one involving violence and a

preveinsing worder with an ex-girlfriend and a restraining order. the jury is about to be brought into the room. the first thing she does every morning is make sure nobody watched any news or talked about this case overnight. yesterday the neighbor who made the most important 911 call took the stand. >> is it a male or female. >> it sounds like a male. >> you don't know why? >> i don't know why. i think they are yelling "help." >> does he look hurt? >> i don't want to go out there, i don't know what's going on. >> you keep hearing help? >> yes. >> there is gunshots. bill: around the time that 911

phone call was played to hear those screams in background the woman on the phone testified she could not tell exactly who was the one screaming. but on cross-examination o'mara got her to say she had never been a hothead or explosive person. threat yesterday zimmerman's attorney says the defendant remains nervous. >> he's very, very worried he's on trial for his life. >> reporter: for the fifth straight day the parents have vowed they will be there every day at the trial in memory of their dead son. bill: this woman more memorable or credible? >> reporter: the jury will be asked to what he that out.

racheout. rachel jeantel made some points saying zimmerman was the aggressor. but the defense pointed out many inconsistencies and lied in her stories. but rolled her eyes. and yet was far less combative and much more polite. the attorney for zimmerman said she may have heard things on that phone call but she didn't see anything you don't know that trayvon got hit. you didn't know that trayvon at that moment didn't take his 50s and drive the into george zimmerman's face, do you? >> no, sir. >> reporter: after court martin's parents' attorney said they were very proud of

jeantel's appearance. claiming her testimony took zimmerman's defense claim and blew it up. have you * she corroborated what she said. those are major issues. >> reporter: we are beginning with a bench conference with judge debra nelson. this is day five of this much-watched murder trial and still to be called is the state's lead investigator as well as the medical examiner who did trayvon martin's autopsy. martha: the courtroom has been packed since this trial began. the seat inside is a hot commodity as far as who gets to sit in the courtroom. 31 seats go to journalists.

200 reporters are covering the trial. the rest of them are outside. six of the seats are set aside portray von martin's family. we have seen them in the front row on the left-hand side. 6 go to the zimmerman family and 24 seats go to members of the public that get selected through a daily lottery hoping to get a seat to watch this unfold. bill: we'll bring you any critical testimony that happens there plus more on what the prosecution's star with it northeast means for this case. did she help or hurt that matter? martha: this fox news alert. a report that the nsa leaker edward snowden's father is saying he believes his son would blois return to the united

states, but on if possible conditions were met. lonnie snowden said his son will come back if they promise not to detain him before a trial fan he goats pick where that trial takes place. he insists his son is being manipulated by those around him. no word on whether those conditions will be met by the justice department. moment ago attorney general eric holder returned to capitol hill. he's meeting behind closed doors expected to discuss the decision to spy on fox news correspondent james rosen and whether he was honest with congress when congress questioned him about that probe. are there concerns that he perjured himself when he said he never in10ed to prosecute james rosen? >> that's at the heart of what

this meeting is about. holder just arrived for the meeting. this back and forth between the attorney general and the thousands judiciary committee began in mid-may when he was asked if he ever considered a prosecution of the media in a leak investigation. >> with regard to the possible prosecution of the press for the disclose our of material that's not something i have been involved in or head or would think would be a wise policy. >> reporter: the subcommittee chairman sensen brenner wrote a they are asking if holder in particular had signed off on a warrant naming james reasons as a coconspirator and a flight risk. in response it got what they considered to be a non-responsive letter from a deputy.

republicans sent a letter to holder again requesting that he personally clarify that previous testimony. that's what's happening this morning. that's what the meeting is all about. martha: because there has been so much unsatisfactory back and forth, what many the tenor of that meeting? >> reporter: the best gauge of that comes from sensenbrenner. he says i'll i'm not shoe america's trust in the justice department can be restored, under this attorney general i'm interested in rinsing to his answers. we'll keep you posted. martha: we'll have more on that. thanks, doug. bill: retired marine general james cartwright. the former second ranking officer in the u.s. military is the target of a classified leak

investigation about a covert cyber attack on iran's nuclear facilities. martha: the bill on landmark immigration will head over to the house. it was a 68-32 vote. the republicans supporting it pushed for a 70-vote. many in the gop are split whether this bill is the right bill to move them forward. watch this. >> isn't it in us to bring 11 million people out of the shadows that are being he can ploitd and have none of the protections of citizenship? >> the bill has amended is

passed. >> how can we vote for a bill our own consciencal budget office will reduce average wages in america for 12 years? martha: it's a hot topic. we'll take a look at both sides in a fair and balanced debate where some think it will be dead on arrival. we are just getting started this morning. lots going on today. we have chilling details about the murder investigation involving former new england patriot aaron hernandez. what authorities are saying about how the victim was killed. it's a brutal story. and new reports he may be linked to other murders as well. bill: the irs acting chief updating congress on the agency's targeting of conservative groups and let's just say it did not go well. >> this report is a sham. i would call it a white wash but it's too thin and unsubject standing to even meet that

danny werfel. he said the review was inadequate was a bit of an understatement. >> the notion that there is overredaction -- >> this is junk, this has no meaning. >> it might be junk but it might be sensitive taxpayer information. bill: they might have your taxes in there. a 30-day review done internally about it irs and apparently they didn't interview anyone? is that true? >> this is really thin stuff. if you are danny werfel coming in as the acting irs director and you want to establish a seriousness about the post, he didn't succeed in his first attempt. bill: george russell is the internal investigator. there was a story that went back

and forth whether it was tea party or conservative groups or whether progressives were thrown in there as well. this is what russell concluded. we found no information in these materials that there was scrutiny for campaign intervention. so what are we left to believe now? >> that temperature what he concluded. -- that's what he concluded. when he was asked if there is anything that contradicts what jordan found werfel himself said no. they are talking about two different kinds of groups, primarily with the tea party groups you are talking about 501c4 groups which are allowed to engage in some political activity. but the progressive groups arewo

engage in any political activity at all. bill: a lawmaker said this report is not worth the paper it's print on. >> the republicans on the committee want a lot more information and they are not happy with the information that was provided. it was basically an internal irs investigation. there are lots of reasons not trust internal irs investigations given what we have learned about the activity of the irs the past couple weeks. republicans on the committee are asking for and will receive much more information that starts to answer the big picture questions we have been discussing for the past several weeks. bill: five week ago we came out with some polling. check these numbers out. should you continue to investigate the irs? 73% say yes. benghazi is at 71%.

doj is 70%. that's well over 2/3. >> one of the reasons the american people want more information on this is the information they have been provided so far is inadequate. it doesn't answer the fund amount tall questions going across all those issues. but in all of those what they have in common is we haven't had strong clear explanations of what exactly the government was doing and why it was doing it. bill: 55 per disapprove of the way the president is handling this irs matter. that tells me it's not going to go away and it will have a drip drip drip effect. in the meantime the irs is looking for a billion dollars more in their new budget. will they get that? >> that's a good question. you are likely to see republicans throw up as many obstaclessinobstacles as you cae

irs more money. and they will be in charge of obama-care. that's something republicans will be fighting for a long time now. martha: there is a big controversy from the u.s. park police. a new report says thousands of weapons under the purview of the park police are gone. they don't know where they are. they lost them. we have some details on where they might have ended up. bill: charges filed against tsarnaev *. let's leave the deals to hotels.com. perfect! yep, and no angry bears. up to 30% off. only at hotels.com.

bean anonymous complain that led to the department of entire dwroar take an inventory of military-style weapons. they realize the large supply of rifles and handguns are completely unaccounted for. some even being taken home by officers. the synopsis read we found that staff at all levels had no clear idea of how many weapons they maintained due to an incomplete and poorly managed inventory control. investigators found that at least 1,400 handguns, rifles or shot guns which were supposed to be destroyed were destroyed. 8,500 handguns are sitting in a stockpile after being hand over from another government agency.

martha: any reaction from the park police department? >> the national parks service director sent a release to fox news. he writes in part. i have no toll ran for this management failure and have ordered immediate actions inletting the inspector general's recommendations. i'm committed to insuring all the necessary systems are in place and are followed. that being said, the department of interior says park police don't have clear policies and procedures for investigating missing weapons. even accusing the chief of police to have a lackadaisical attitude towards firearms management. martha: would you think some heads would roll if somebody was in charge of those weapons.

somebody must have had that in their job description. bill: are states using the sales tax as a gun control measure in if so is that an attack on your second amendment rights? martha: today we have brand-new details in the case of aaron hernandez and what they could mean for him. flips and cartwhee. flips and cartwhee. love, warmth. here, try this. mm, ok! ching! i like the fact that there's lots of different tastes going on. mmmm! breakfast i'm very impressed. this is a great cereal! honey bunches of oats. i hear you crunching.

martha: what a fall for aaron hernandez, the former new england pail patriot. he has been denied bail. prosecutors described a brutal death as it was played out in that industrial area near his home. they say he shot the victims five times as he tried to swirl to get away from them. two more times in the chest which sealed his fate it's an unbelievable story. joe dwinel for the "boston herald" * has been all over this. you have got this july 2012 double homicide driveby shooting it appears in the investigation of this murder something has resurfaced about that day and now they think he may have had something to do with that as well, right? >> correct.

police tell us that they are looking into that driveby shooting last summer. it's in the theater district nightclub into the streets of boston on the south end where the car was sprayed with bullets and two men died at the scene on the street and police are now saying that they are probing if hernandez was involved in that case. martha: you have got the man who lost his eye and was shot by hernandez in florida. then you have got this double homicide in 2012, and the latest murder of odin lloyd and you put this against the time period all this was happening. he was in the middle of signing a $40 million contract with the patriots. he had a fiance with a child. he said no more of this playboy stuff for me, i'm going to

settle down. it's amazing how contrary those two pictures are. >> he went on national television to say i'm a role model. up and coming superstar on a perennial super bowl steam, yet there is this dark side the prosecutors are saying was there and was there in a big brutal way. martha: we know other teams passed him over because they were concerned about behavioral issues. the patriots decided to give him a chance. he had this amazing future in front of him. it boggles the mind what he was involved in and why he felt so drawn into it that he couldn't shake it off and rid himself from that life. >> exactly. now with this investigation into the double murder in boss temperature yo -- doublemurder .

he's doing this while allegedly training to be an nfl football player. prosecutors say he's on the streets of boston. martha: they have one of the people they bleach was an accomplice. they are still looking for the other man, correct? carlos ortiz, and the other man. thank you. >> yes. he's armed and dangerous. they put out an all points bulletin last night saying watch out for this guy. he's on the run. they believe he's involved in this. there is your three suspects in this north attleboro murder. martha: you said the boston police went to his house late last night. one thing that still stand out here. we still don't know who pulled that trigger. >> correct. i thought it was telling in your

introduction how odin lloyd even put up his arm in a defensive position, and that was the first bullet that hit him. it's sad when you read the details. he's trying to stay alive. the last two shots were right over him and right into the chest. i think we are going to learn, is someone talking to the police? carlos ortiz, is he talking to investigators? martha: could be. i read an account yesterday about a text odin lloyd sent to a friend while he was riding around in the car with these guys. according to these reports he said did you see who i left with obviously he was scared for his safety at that point. he texted nfl to describe who he was with. can you verify that report? >> the prosecutors say it was to

wrote on the walls where he was hiding. he wrote the u.s. government is killing our citizens. you hurt us one, you hurt us all. stop killing our innocent people and we'll stop. the indictment revealed more specifics about the bomb plot itself. it says dzhokhar tsarnaev downloaded terrorist material from the internet including a copy of an english language magazine published by al qaeda containing instructions on how to construct a bomb using pressure cooksers. the indictment goes into details of how dzhokhar tried to evade authorities. he tried to drive a stolen suv to evade to police but instead he seriously injured tamer land and contributing to lambe tamers

over death. >> reporter: he is expected to be arraigned july 10 next month. at that time we may learn more about his condition. 17 of the 30 counts he faces could result in the death penalty. authorities say so far no decision has been made open whether to seek execution. u.s. attorney general eric holder will have to make that call. authorities say the victim's families are being asked to provide input. the process itself is not public. bill: david lee miller. thank you. martha: we are watching the zimmerman trial and live coverage. another key witness for the state in the george zimmerman trial. john good is his name. he's on the stand right now. but the witness on the stand says that he saw what happened the night that trayvon martin was killed.

bill: back to florida. another key witness on the stand. john good says he witnessed the events from the night trayvon martin died. a moment ago this is how this testimony began.

>> what are you look at at that time? what do you see when you look aught -- when you looked out at that time? >> it looked like a tussle. i described it as possibly being a dog attack. i could only see an object. >> what did you observe after that? >> it seemed like a tussle. they were vertical to me just like the blind were. at one point i yelled out, what's going on, stop it! , i believe. >> okay. bill: now we have another person on the scene. we have a federal former prosecutor. you heard him say i went up to these two men and said stop it. what does he add? >> he adds some context.

he hasn't been cross-examined. one of issues is it's dark, it's raining, he thought it might have been some dogs. they are trying to establish who was out there, who was on top and so on. he's adding to the picture. the prosecution has to paint a picture of what happened that night. but he's one more witness to add a few piece to the picture. bill: he had a witness yesterday but even they seemed to be sketchy in their own minds as to what they could see. it was night and it was dark. >> reporter: and it was range. this guy seems to be closer than the toker ones were. but it's still difficult to tell exactly what happened that night. it's confusing when you listen to it. part of it is, it was dark and raining and nobody was involved in the actual altercations except for these two. bill: when you see this trial and see how little evidence

there is for the states, how do they prove this? >> it's a difficult case. obviously they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. but they have the witness. she was not a great witness. their star witness. but she did say she heard supposedly trayvon martin saying "get off." that would seem to lend itself to thinking he was being attacked or he was the one on the bottom. but she is listening on the telephone. it's huff to say what's going on. bill: she is an ear witness, not an eyewitness. do you think she helped or hurt the prosecution's case? >> i don't think she hurt the case. whether they believe her will be another question. i'm not sure she helped. prosecutors are stuck with getting the witnesses that there are. she wasn't an ideal witness but

prosecutors have to put on people who are convicted felons. so prosecutors are used to dealing with that and it's just way it happened. bill: she claimed she heard trayvon martin said "get off." >> the problem is whether she is credible. her demeanor is different thursday than it was wednesday. you can't help but think she must have been coached to act differently thursday after her performance on wednesday. bill: i described her as an ear witness. in many respects the man with us an ear witness as well. in the dark of night he describes what he heard. >> did you see that person's hands? >> just the appendages. >> the person on top could you tell what that person was

striking? were they going like this? >> i could not hear that, no. >> did you hear this? >> no. >> could you tell whether the person on top was trying to hold the person on the bottom? >> objection. >> overruled. >> your testimony was the person on the top was holding count person on the bottom? >> i said that would have been possible. there was arm motion going down multiple times. >> you can't say one way or the other. >> i can't 100% say, no. bill: that is an attorney for the state. this is their witness. you can't choose your witnesses. you get who you get. what is the attorney driving at. >> he's trying to establish that

trayvon was on the bottom and zimmerman was on top. but it seem that this witness is not saying that. at least he's not being very clear about that. he's not definitively saying i saw zimmerman, he was on top. he said it was dark, i couldn't really tell. the prosecutors trying to get him to say something that puts zimmerman on top. bill: but it didn't seem he drove that point for the state. >> witnesses maybe it comes out differently today and maybe the memory is different than when he spoke to the prosecutor prior to this. they may have expected him to say something more definitive or maybe he's just probing. bill: the seems like these attorneys for the state and the defense are trying to figure out who threw the first punch. >> that's absolutely right.

unfortunately it doesn't seem there is any witness to be able to say so. at least not so far. there are other witnesses to come for both the prosecution and defense. we are only a couple days into this and there may be somebody else who may be able to definitively say. but the reality is we probably won't know. >> the prows crucial's case is not done yet than is so little hard evidence in this trial today. >> remember it's beyond a reasonable doubt it's a difficult case for the prosecution. but if they find the woman yesterday credible and they believe that when he said get off it was because zimmerman was on top that may be enough for the jury to hang its hat on. bill: we were told yesterday their head were on swivel. it was like watching a tennis match. that's what the reporters

described. the attorney would ask the question and the 19-year-old womb and would answer yes, sir, no, sir. >> at this point nobody knows what's going to happen. bill: thanks. we have more breaking news now. martha: we go to hose oversight where they are discussing whether or not lois lerner's decision to take the fifth when she testified before this committee will stand up or whether she can be compelled to appear before them again and tell what she knows. we'll keep an eye on that and let you know what's going on. bill: this may be the coolest tree house ever. but why did it land a grandmother in court we wonder.

where are we seeing new state tax on ammunition and guns. >> reporter: 7 states and one local government are considering adding new taxes to guns and/or ammunition. connecticut is considering a 50% tax on ammunition and maryland is look at a 25% tax on ammunition. the federal government looking to add a tax to gun purchases and they will use that money to finance prevention program. >> there is a price in our society to pay for that. i don't think it many unfair to link those things with prevention programs that can help reduce the cost to society on the other end.

i think it' very fair. >> reporter: critics say guns and ammunition are already takd and this an assault on the second amendment. they say the taxes also up fringe on interstate commerce. bill: in a moment there is yet another scandal rocking the military. details on the former high-ranking general at the center of a significant leak investigation. martha: a live look at the zimmerman trial where we just heard a 911 call from the night of the every day we're working to be an even better company -

martha: they are watching and awaiting a big vote that will decide whether the woman at the center of the irs scandal will be brought back to capitol hill and be forced to answer questions about the agency's targeting of group seeking tax exempt status. bill: lois lerner refusing to answer questions at a congressional hearing last month. she invoked the fifth. but some members say she waived those right when she made a statement declaring her innocence. >> i decided to follow my counsel's advice and not testify or answer any questions today. because i'm asserting my right not to testify i know some

people will assume i have done something wrong. i have not. one of the basic functions of the amendment is to protect innocent individuals and that's the protection i'm invoking today. martha: many people feel right there she stepped over the line. no lois lerner in the meeting today but they are talking about her in there quite a bit. >> reporter: it's quite a legal clinic and intense in the room as lawmakers spar over this constitutional issue. trey gowdy, a former federal prosecutor is the one who objected when lois lerner tried to assert her fifth amendment right last month. he said she made 9 specific assertions including she did nothing wrong. >> having now considered the facts and arguments, i believe lois lerner waived her fifth amendment privileges. she did so when she chose to make a voluntary opening

statement. >> reporter: congressman john michael $said she was a federal bureaucrat thumbing her nose at congress. they are reviewing the constitution and there is a big review of what the amendment means. >> i was not trying to make this point more difficult than it should be. but i think when we are dealing with a sensitive -- this constitution. i couldn't be here if it wasn't for it. >> reporter: the hearing continues at this moment. we'll let you know if she is ordered to come back or how it all goes down, martha. bill: the irs not having a good couple weeks. two major controversies.

the scandal over targeting conservative groups. the irs also under fire for lavish spending including $50,000 on a video for a 2010 conference. $2 million at a conference in atlanta in 2008. that included a celebrity chef wolfgang puck and a get together at the georgia aquarium. martha: don't forget the dance video. what do you think? should lois lerner be called back to testify? do you believe she stepped over the line when she took the fifth and said she was innocent? bill: issa was with us the other day and he pretty much said she'll come back. he says she waived her right to plead the fifth. well over 70% of americans we talked to look at this thing and

go after it. martha: that will be interesting when she comes back. bill: another fox news alert. there is a leak investigation reaching the highest level of the armed forces. the former second highest ranking officer in the u.s. military, retired four star general james cartwright, he's the target after criminal leak investigation including a top secret cyber attack involving tehran. kt macfarland, a national security analyst with me now. he's the target of this investigation. give us the facts. >> if the fbi says you are a target of an investigation that means they have reason to believe that you know a lot about a crime that might have been committed and they are going to charge you for it. you a form four star general, number two man, vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff.

he takes an oath of office not to do that. his integrity is on the line. the second thing that's fascinating about this story is general cartwright was referred to as president obama's general. he was president obama's favorite guy. the guy obama trusted the most on military matters. if this is a charge, why the leak that came out about not just the stuxnet virus sabotaging iran's nuclear program, but the seal team six raid and killing of usama bin laden. bill: republicans would argue it was on the front page of the "new york times" because it makes the white house look good. stuxnet was a success. when they heard about it they changed their tactics. >> you can't believe how it happened. first all general cartwright and tech wizards in the military

went to president bush and said we are going to figure out some kind of cyber attack on iran's cyber program. president bush said please do. our only option is sanctions or bombing iran. we don't want to go there. when president obama came into office. president bush said, obama, keep this cyber program on. obama did, in affect increased it. our guys were able to plant something in the computers return was using, something that was a signal that would send back to our guys how in fact the brains of the program worked. our guys said we are going to change the spin cycle of the sentry fiewdges. how they make enriched uranium. it's like a spin cycle on the washing machine. if your load is unbalanced it makes a buzz sound and you run and fix it. the iranians didn't know there was a buzz sound. they didn't know anything was going wrong. their computer showed everything

was find. so what happened? two years probably -- bill: cartwright has been out of the military two years. you think about all these leading generals in the u.s. military who are out of a job, whether it's he trius, raffle barrack, peter fuller, stanley mcchrystal. all these good men in the military are going to be replaced by whom? >> the guys who are leaving, especially someone like general mattis. he was all straightforward. general cartwright. whether you like we did or didn't do with stuxnet. he wanted the afghan surge. the other generals you are talking about, petraeus and others, they were the key members of a generation of our military leaders who look back and say this is one of the

greatest generation of military leaders. they are all out of a job. some may have left in scandal. but the question is what is the next generation like? most people don't believe the next generation ranks with this generation of military leaders. bill: i hope they are wrong. martha: emotionally charged evidence will be allowed in the murder trial of suspected fort hood gunman nadal hassan. he's accused of killing 13 people in cold blood and wounding dozens of others. the judge decided they will allow the prosecutors to play a recording of a dying victim in court. the victim was this woman. pregnant army private branches today velez. she cried out "my baby, my bab

baby." she was then shot and died. the jury selection is set to get underway finally in this case next month. bill: fox news alert. were george zimmerman's murder trial with the prosecution's most important witnesses on the stand talking about the night trayvon martin was killed in his neighborhood. state attorneys playing the 911 call john good placed that night. >> someone is yelling for help? >> i'm quite sure the guy is dead out here. [bleep] >> we have several people calling in. anything else? >> the guy yelling help! oh, my god. there is a guy with a flashlight

in the backyard now. i think there is flashlights and there is a guy -- i don't know if that's a cop. >> did you hear -- was it one person? >> there is two guys in the backyard with flashlights. and there is a black guy down, it look like he has been shot and he's dead. >> okay. >> he's laying and there are multiple people calling, i think. bill: those are martin parents. now the defense attorneys will question john good, that same witness. we'll have more that coming up. bill: conflicting testimony from a former u.s. army commander who was in libya during last year's deadly terror attack in

benghazi. what he's saying about the orders he was given that night. bill: some republicans are ticked off after the senate passed a sweeping immigration reform bill. is it dead on arrival at the house? >> we need to figure out how to secure our border and figure out how to have more legal immigration but i don't think this bill necessarily do it. conservatives in this country are open to i am facing reform but we want to see forwarder security first and i don't think this bill quite gets there.

bill: student drowning in debt when they graduate going deeper in debt after lawmakers fail to agree on keeping the cost of borrowing low. the current rate doubles to 6.8% after the 1st of july. it will add $23 thowrkts cost

after 10-year loan. martha: the senate passed a sweeping immigration bill. the final vote was 68-32 after a border security amendment helped persuade 14 republicans come into the fold. not everybody in the gop is supporting this bill. senator ted cruise has been outspoken about this legislation saying it grants amnesty first, it won't secure the border and it doesn't fix our broken immigration system. he says it was written behind closed doors with special interests. it came out of this group of 8. four republicans and four democrats. it's going to the house where some are calling it doa in the house. we are hearing from paul ryan who says he has some hope. juan williams is here, fox

political news analyst. how do you think this goes when it gets over to the house? >> i don't think there is a lot of chance the exact bill gets picked up in the house. i think the house talked about picking up certain parts of it. insisting on enforcement first. it has the same element as the senate bill but flips them and says -- 68% of americans and 66% of democrats think enforcement should come first, even though they are friendly on a path to citizenship. and senate democrats don't get their exact legislation on a silver platter because they passed it in the senate. that temperature not how congress works. martha: senator rubio says that's what this bill does. because it does allow for border security first. >> those 14 agree with that assessment. i'm somebody who is friendly to immigration reform.

when you look at cbo score that says 75% of the illegal immigration would continue. i'm unconvinced you have to pass this i am bill. martha: juan, what do you think about the process? are you hopeful? >> you are seeing populist politics being played by the tea party elements, especially in the house. these people voted to defund the dream act. they don't want young people who come into the country because their parent brought them here to have a pathway to citizenship. when you hear from people like senator sessions of alabama, saying it will tee crease employment opportunities for americans. every agency that scored this said the opposite. you see there is a republican element hard right in the house playing to anger at immigrants. this fixation with the law and the border security, yeah, if

mary katharine says a high percent imagine of americans say secure the borders. but putting billions into it when we are talking about budget austerity and the anger at immigrants on the part of the hard right. >> where is my anger? i don't feel angry. i feel like i'm assessing the bill and asking if it's going to solve the problem you are alleging it's going to solve. >> it doesn't solve the problem when you have airplanes -- most of the people to overstay their visas. there are boats and airplanes and tunnels under that wall. if you want to reform an immigration system. but this fixation on the wall betrays anger at immigrants. martha: the majority of americans do want to secure the border. i don't think that's a radical

idea to want to have a secure border. that's a fairly basic thing most people agree on. >> that's a good point so let's have immigration reform that addresses that issue. the cbo says the wall doesn't. >> without the wall enforcement allows 75% of illegal immigration to continue. we have not been tracking or enforcing overstays. are we going to do that in the future? martha: entry and exit is part of this compromise. we have four democrats and four republicans get together. can we do anything, folks in i know the tea party is not happy with this so let's see what we can do with it on the house side. if they can't do this, if they can't get together on this what can they do? >> i think it' fair to be discouraged. this is how the process works.

senate democrats and house republicans who continue to support this bill can continue to work with their friend over at the house and improve it and switch the order of things so they can convince the american people they might do it. there is an issue of trust. the wall has been law since 2007 and no one has done anything about it. when you promise new things people go, why would you do that now? >> the point from my perspective is why do you keep trying to put in poison pills to block immigration reform. most americans want border security. but most americans also want a pathway to citizenship and they don't want phoney obstacles put in the way of getting something done here. and that's what we are experiencing. these people don't want anything done about immigration in our country. >> you are saying what 66% of

the american people want is a poison pill. i don't think that's the case. martha: thanks so much, guys. bill: 9 months after benghazi, where are the survivors. we go looking with james rosen on because you ask. martha: president obama says he should not have to call foreign leaders to get custody of edward snowden. that didn't sit so well with charles krauthammer. >> it's >> it's beneath him. the sheer radiance of obama should have been enough and it hasn't worked yet. the kyocera torque lets you hear and be heard

martha: this arizona police officer was caught redhanded texting and driving. look at this. on a motorcycle.

texting and driving earlier this week. a man drove up, took the picture. at first he wasn't sure he was seeing what he thought he was seeing and he got closer and sure enough the officer was texting and driving in the hov lane. no word on whether the officer was disciplined. i wonder if they can tell who that was from that picture. bill: where is that? martha: i think it was -- arizona. bill: that is five points in the state of new york, folks. five points if you get caught. martha: the stiffer the penalties on texting and driving the more rapidly the problem goes away. bill: americans want congress to investigate 78 say the i.r.s. 71% say benghazi that is tied with the nsa. 70% say the justice department snooping on journalists. new details on the investigation in benghazi. benge the truth behind the smokes screen hosted by pwaeur

by bret baier airs at 10:00 tonight. james rosen helps report the special. good morning to you. what is new on benghazi that we have found out nine months later? >> reporter: in a word plenty. this week alone has bought the publication online of ambassador steven's personal diary and four new subpoenas by the house oversight committee to state department officials who have not yet testified before congress about what they now. since fox news last told the benghazi in long form major developments have broken, including you will recall the testimony on may 8th of two state department whistle-blowers who spoke in dramatic terms about the events of september 11, the final moments of ambassador stevens as well as alleged efforts by state department superiors to retaliate against them. we also include fox news reporting about the stand down orders that were supposedly issued that night, this follows closed-door testimony this week about benghazi by retired general cart they are h amm, in i with he testified that he was never consulted about security

in 9/11 preparedness meetings convened by the white house. fox news' latest poll of registered voters nationwide finds that nearly 7 in 10 believe president obama should have ordered a military response to the benghazi attack with only 2 in 10 believing he should not have. those majorities hold for democrats, a 52%, independents, 71%. and especially republicans 88%. finally, fox newsletters obtained an interview with the jailed filmmaker whose apt tie muslim video was falsely placed at the heart of the benghazi story by the obama administration, bill. bill: bya because you asked a lot of questions from viewers on this. this is one of them, james, where are the survivors of benghazi? where are they? how many are there, james? >> reporter: and this is -- these are the people who were there that night at the consulate and the annex in benghazi and were evacuated that night. the obama administration says

that these individuals have been interviewed by the fbi and an accountability review board arb, many are back in the field completing their duties. we have learned that several remain injured at walter reed medical center almost a year later. some of the people were so badly injured it's doubtful that they will ever return to security work. the obama administration has opposed making these individuals available for congressional testimony citing both past practice and the fact that most of the americans in benghazi on the night of 9/11 were intelligence as s-rbg etsets, not diplomats. bill: looking forward to tonight. benghazi the truth behind the smokes screen host he -d bee bret baier and reported by james rosen and others. hemmer@ knocks news.com is the email or send me a tweet at bill hemmer. bya, lines are open. martha: we are watching throughout the course of this

show the developments happening in the george zimmerman murder trial this morning. this is john goode the witness on the stand right now. he is a key witness, he's describing what he saw and heard the night that mart r-r wa mart r-r was killed just outside his home. we will play you the testimony from john goode in a morning. bill: alec baldwin is tweeting again. you know that is never good. what prompted his latest meltdown, next.

bill: there are what could be described significant developments in the george zimmerman murder trial. one of of the prosecution's key witnesses just testified about what he saw and heard the night trayvon martin died. the state attorney is playing his 911 call, the gentleman's name is john goode you'll hear from him in a moment that he plays to police that night in february more than a year ago. listen here. >> the person on the bottom was laying flat. >> correct. >> could you tell if he was on his back or not. >> he was on his back. >> he was on his back. at this point was the person on the back -- the person on the top, whose back you can see, what was he wearing? >> it was the same person that was on the top when they were t-shaped to the sidewalk. dark colors. >> they did not change

positions, did they? >> no. i didn't see the entire thing it's two seconds. >> the entire time you were actually watching what was going on. >> 8 to ten seconds. >> that's when you had your focus specifically on what turned out to be as we now know, trayvon martin and george sometime r- zimmerman. >> you didn't know it then but now we know who they were. >> yes. >> 8 to ten seconds you were watching them do whatever was happening. >> i would say yes. like there was only one person and i could see a second person and it looked more of just a puzzle and that's when i saw it got serious when it moved to the sidewalk and he was more in a straddle position and arm movements were going downward. i couldn't say a hundred% they were strikes or arm movements going downward. as soon as i saw the movement going downward that's when i turned around and went back inside. >> that's when you knew it was very serious. >> yes it hraobgdz like i

looked serious. >> and you could hear george zimmerman yelling for help. >> incorrect. >> s thisee when i finally spotted someone under the person on top. bill: we'll play the 911 phone call in a moment. we have a former chief investigator and former new york police sergeant. and a federal prosecutor with us 45 minutes ago you went off to the green room to listen to more. because you are a prosecutor what did john goode do to this case in the last 45 minutes? >> this is devastating for the prosecution. he came straight out and said that the person wearing the black, in the dark outfit was on tops entire time. he saw them on the grass, he then saw them on the sidewalk, same person on top, and that's trayvon martin. so and then he describes the position that trayvon martin is on top of zimmerman in a position that could be very deadly to him. and he sees downward motion from

the person on top who now we know is trayvon martin. and he also says that he hears somebody crying for help and that although he says it's not when they are on the sidewalk he says it's the person who was originally on the bottom, that that remained zimmerman both on the sidewalk and in the grass. bill: he testified under cross-examination that the cries for help that he heard were from george zimmerman. >> right, it's not completely clear yet. i think my guess is the cross will pull it out a little bit more. he says it's the person that when he first saw them in the grass it's the person on the bottom and that's the same person he says is on the bottom all the time. bill: he has a defend university.com website. this is your business, what did you take away from the testimony. >> i'm a black belt, they wrote the book on this position. i teach it to law enforcement. when trayvon was mounted on top of him range down blows it's virtually indefensible. he can see much zimmerman, zimmerman can't reach him. the blows because his head is on

-pbt ground he can't absorb. a boxer would absorb it he's not able. bill: this witness described this hold? >> he did. bill: how did he know about it. >> watching maa. he referred to it as an mma position which he likely saw in the us. bill: what is that position? you get on top, hold his arms down. >> you're skrad eld o straddled on his hips. he reigns down blows, he can't move. you can cause a lot of damage. you can't absorb it, your head is stuck, and the damage is being caused between here and here there he no way -- bill: remember now you've got this piece of evidence that will come in at some point from the defense that will show what the wound on the back of george zimmerman's head were. did he have a broken nose, is that confirmed? >> i believe that he had a broken nose, the injuries that he displayed with the facial injuries and the head injuries would be consistent with either ground impound like we explained or banging the head on the ground. the frontal injuries are definitely blows being reigned

down. bill: zimmerman's attorneys went to great length to tell the jurors in opening statements that he worked out at a gym some time ago but wasn't a very good athlete. how does that come back in? >> i look at him as a 30 year police officer, 35 years martial arts and i see a soft man, soft person, not very tough or physical at all. bill: we mentioned 45 minutes ago there was not a whole lot of evidence in this case. the case comes down to the people the state is putting on the stand. you can't pick and choose your own witnesses, they are who they are. how did this one do. bill: h. >> he was a better witness for the defense than the prosecution. they have more witnesses they plan to call. they may rehabilitate the witness. he is going to have redirect. they'll have a second chance at him. but he's been very clear on what he saw. bill: you're a prosecutor, right? you know that you've talked to this guy, you've taken his deposition, you know what he's going to say. >> uh-huh. bill: are you prepared for this?

>> there are times when you can talk to a witness and you don't know exactly what they are going to say when they get on the stand. they sometimes say something different on the stand than what they told you in prior meetings. that can happen. i don't know if that happened here. if not, you know, they are laying out what happened that night, what the witnesses saw. they have to layout the chronology, where things happened. this witness was able to say they were on the grass and then on the sidewalk. they also can still potentially show, you know, that zimmerman was the into gator and zimmerman created the situation purposefully. so, you know it's not over yet. bill: the state could come back on that point. >> they are not finished yet. >> thank you. and thank you to you as well. more now with martha. martha: let's bring in florida criminal defense attorney mike gottleb. you've been listening to this. we've been watching the testimony here. you've heard from the attorneys in the studio that they believe that the testimony was very good for the defense, that it clearly

puts trayvon martin in the position of being the person on top. how do you read it? >> i agree 100% and to use a borrowed phrase from mr. goode i think that this witness dealt a ground and pound to the state's case. i mean he clearly put at all points in time that he's viewing the fight that trayvon martin is on top of george zimmerman. he says from the angle that he heard the cries for help it was clearly zimmerman who is on the bottom who is crying nor help. i think it's a devastating blow to the state's case at this point in time. martha: there will be cross, because a lot of what we heard from him earlier was that, from this testimony and this witness was that it was very dark, it was hard to see what was going on and he's been very careful as a witness, and as i think most people can respect to tell only what he really feels he saw and heard, and nothing more than that. he doesn't seem to be adding to it, you know, or embellishing on it in anyway. he's a very straight witness. >> i agree with you 100%.

i think he's a reluctant witness. i think he's shown he doesn't want to be here and i think he's being very careful about the words that he's choosing. at the point in time i don't think they'll be able to cross-examine him. he's saying what he saw, and only what he saw with no embellishment. whether it's dark or not he really hasn't changed his story. i think he's unflappable and a fantastic witness for zimmerman. martha: thank you very much. bill: maybe we have the bombshell on day five. new fallout, president obama said he should not need to get personally involved in efforts to capture edward snowden. many say this is too important not to get involved. >> i have not called the chinese president personally, or president putin personally, and the reason is because, number one, i shouldn't have to.

bill: now we find the parents of a missing 20e-year-old college students ever dent are suing three former students. they were the last men known to see their daughter alive. lauren steier a sophomore. she vanished three years ago after a night out with friends in bloomington, indiana. they say the friends' negligent led to her disappearance. the police say it's unsolved and a mystery to hem. martha: charles krauthammer calling president obama's comments about about the fugitive nsa leaker arrogant. president obama said yesterday

he shouldn't have to directly contact russia or china about extradicting edward snowden. here is carl's krauthammer last night. >> he doesn't speak to the head of russia and china because he doesn't have to. it's beneath him you see. the mere, shear radiance of obama ought to be enough to persuade them to turn over snowden, and that apparentlies ha -pbapparentlies hasn't worked yet. the arrogance that he's of such olympian stature that he leaves it, and he pretends it's just a 29-year-old hacker when you showed earlier in the show the secretary of state said this could cost lives and the head of the nsa said it's extremely damaging. martha: charles krauthammer there. tucker carlson joins me editor of the "daily caller" and cohost of fox & friends weekend. he's doing a fantastic job at it. good to see you. >> thank you, martha. martha: the president shook his head and said i shouldn't have to. there are plenty of things in place in terms of extradition, it happens all the time around

the world. this isn't something the president should have to pick up the phone. >> if the president doesn't pick up the phone and call people, oh, wait he called sandra flubbing flauck. he called people to congrat thaeupl thecongratulate them for hiring michael vick. martha: i think what he's getting at is it puts it at a level of diplomacy, it's the highest level you can go to to pick up a phone and talk president to president in the situation and maybe that would send a signal about this that he doesn't want to send. >> that is i would say a valid argument except that the obama administration has made the case that have leak or series of leaks was gravely damaging to american national security. they haven't spelled out precisely how that is gravely damaging, by the way a lot of republicans in my view have fallen toker that. you've seen the leadership of the republican party in the congress by and large defend

these spying programs. martha: 50 different incidents of terrorism were uncovered by this. >> i'd like to know which ones. martha: i agree. i think we have been lacking in the clarity. >> and this is a sideshow actually, because we just found out that they've been stealing people's financial information, law abiding americans. martha: let's get your thoughts on this other issue. eric holder is trying to calm folks down in congress about his testimony where he said he had no knowledge whatsoever of any effort to sort of prosecute a journalist and then lo and behold a couple days later it turned out that they had been going after james roepbz. now he's trying to say, he said basically the warrant was to establish probable cause, it was not to in prosecute. never our intention. what say you? >> it was a secret warrant, something that was not publicly available and in it it suggested that james rosen had violated thess pea average act, committed felony trees on against his own country. it's ludicrous. look, they accused, again, in secret, a working journalist

ofes espionage in order to spy on him. they broke into his personalis y really violated his rights not similar me as as a journalist but as an american. martha: they went to three judges. it's like nobody, i can't do that for you. neither can i. they went to three different places to try to get that probable cause established. it was really a dogged effort. >> against a working journalist. by the way a journalist who no one has ever accused of anything other than being stoet alley straight. watching the press corp continuing to suck up to this administration in light of this is nauseating i would say. martha: thank you. see you soon. bill: what time does your alarm clock go off. >> 3:00. i said i'd be with you in spirit. bill: jon scott is coming up right now. "happening now" rolls your way

in 11 minutes. what is up? jon: i might be there. i'm not going to make any promises yet. there has been good news of late in the economy much of it driven by an improving housing market. mortgage rates hitting a two-year high. will that put more strain on consumers? ben stein joins us with some answers. you probably heard pronouncements this week that the i.r.s. targeted more than just conservative groups, that hreub rams were under th liberal groups were targeted too. what set off alec build wane this time. who he's going after now, all coming up at the top of the hour. bill: we saw that story, jon, we thought we'd talk about that. any time this man seems to talk it seems to draw attention. jon: he needs a little anger management. bill: baldwin is back at it. wait until you hear what was going on this time. thank you, jon, have great

weekend. see you in ten minutes.

bill: it's happened gape. now we have the 411 on the major meltdown in cyberspace. alec baldwin has a habit of this going on the ram paeup rampage on twitter. his wife is accused of tweeting during the funeral of james gandolfini. how dare she. what is up? >> reporter: what the bleep is wrong with this guy? alec baldwin and his wife paid their respects at james gandolfini funeral in new york city yesterday. many reporters around the globe were covering the event including one uk daily mail reporter george stark who accused baldwin's wife of tweeting about frivolous things

during the funeral making smoothies and asking for shopping tips on an anniversary gift. he tweets, the actor tweeted in her defense, my wife and i attend a funeral to pay our respects to an old friend some toxic b r-rbg particulars writes this bleep trash. i'm going to find you george stark you toxic little queen and i'm going to bleep you up. he says it's disgraceful that a reporter to publish a story and not cause for conversation. there are multiple witnesses to the fact that she left her phone in the car and wouldn't, couldn't and didn't tweet during the service, all tweets have been removed and his page has since been closed. bill: she says it never happened. she says she didn't start the tweets during the funeral. >> reporter: the question is who did.

mrs. baldwin said the reporter misinterpret erred the time stamp of the tweets and they were retweets on earlier tweets. per stark's article it wasn't through. she managed to go into damage control. my husband fights for me fiercely, it hurts me to be misunderstood. you can read the rest. we are out of time. bill: thank you, julie. martha what is next. martha: coming up we'll go back to the george zimmerman trial where john goode is on the stand, a major witness for the prosecution. ♪
